LED turn signals don't work when headlights are on.

If you put regular bulbs back in, do they work?

Hi Gene.

Same issue here, was it the gowesty LED’s? Swapping bulbs back and it’ll work. Maybe this is the fix?

I haven’t tried it and their description of what issues people are saying is vague. I haven’t had a chance to reach out to them yet, let us know if you figure it out and I’ll do the same.

I picked up the resistor kit today, will install Friday and post results.

Just an FYI to anyone else, you can buy a pair of 50w resistors on Amazon for $5. I'm all for some mark up for a "kit" but $18+$15s/h seems a bit silly.

The 50 W resistors fixed the problem.
